Hi Mike,

If I were to re-install WinME over the existing Op System, is it possible
this may remove problem.However I would want to retain existing files and
programs; would this be OK?

Regards John

John,

Regrettably I have nothing to add to Noel's comment on the subject. All
registry cleaners, like all domestic products from Symantec, should be
consigned to the rubbish bin and never go near a computer.

I'm at a loss as to why the driver install is hanging and not completing.
Something is stopping it. If it were an NT based system such as XP I'd
now be looking at registry permissions but that's not a factor on Win 9x
systems such as Win Me.

Following this latter move do you want me to view elsewhere?

The number of objects(files)in 'inf' folder shown is still 575!
